Distance between points (7, 10) and (9, 8)

Given Coordinates: x₁ = 7  y₁ = 10,  x₂ = 9  y₂ = 8
Distance Formula: d = √(x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²
Substitute the given coordinates into the Distance Formula and Simplify:
d = √(9 − 7)² + (8 − 10)²
d = √2² + (-2)²
d = √4 + 4
d = √8
d = √4 * 2
d = √4 * √2
d = 2√2
Therefore, the distance between the points (7, 10) and (9, 8) is equal to 2√2
Note: As a decimal number, 2√2 ≈ 2.8284271247462
